It's hard to apologize . . . Always.

2009-07-18T10:21:27-06:00

I think it's human nature to run from our mistakes; some mistakes are easier to rectify than others. Should be easier to apologize when we know we started it.

A gift from a pen shop wouldn't be bad

2009-07-17T22:39:57-06:00

Getting a nice pen doesn't mean going glitzy or dazzling, it means getting the job done with grace and elan, but transparent!

Didn't choose this location in San Fran, but I'm sure a nice pen can be found. I especially like pens (and pencils) with a clear body/holder. Combine the body and the point which allows the drawing of different line thicknesses . . . ok, this is getting technical, so I'll stop . . . .

Shovels and money have something in common. . . .

2009-07-15T14:12:48-06:00

It's only a tool to barter for other goods and services. Being a tool, the question rests on what the tool is being used for, and that ultimately points to the shoveler. Shovels can be used for good or evil as well.

NIV Bible is 66 books, but well worth the read.

2009-06-30T22:41:05-06:00

I'm going with the statistics for my favorite long book.

Purchased and read more than any book: estimated min. 2.5 billion sales; closest competitor Quotes from Chairman Mao has sales of 0.8 billion; in third, the Koran with 0.80 billion. A Tale of Two Cities has 0.2 billion. NIV outpaces 2nd place by 4x. Reading the New Intl Version offers remarkable insight and wisdom.

Extending the personal touch

2009-06-14T21:15:43-06:00

The internet offers us the opportunity to make a more personable or more impersonable world. I prefer to make it more personable. . . sharing new friends, new ideas, and using it to make a difference in the global neighborhood.

Woo hoo for personal triumph!

2009-06-03T17:51:01-06:00

A couple of internal & external woo hoos lately: Susan Boyle's hidden singing talent/recognition, Andres Iniesta's last minute goal in the 2009 UEFA semi-final, and Helio Castroneves' victory at 2009 Indy 500.

Wolverine in straight sets!

2009-06-02T16:28:11-06:00

Wolverine weighs 5 - 24 lbs. more than a t.d. Can defend its catch from mountain lions and bears. Though both have fierce tempers and the tas probably makes more of an irritating noise, the wolverine should be bigger and stronger.

If I could time travel, I'd go to 2009

2009-06-01T17:36:28-06:00

If I want to time travel, I should read a book or write one. Traveling to the future would upset the cart and handling today. The most exciting time is living now.
